It's been a month since Lillian Bankhurst discovered her true identity. And now, with the help of thaumaturgy professor Dakota Kern, she's ready to learn about who she really is and what she's capable of. But Dakota, wanted for questioning by the Department for the Investigation of Anomalous Occurrences, is more worried about his own secrets being discovered- and he's willing to go to any lengths to protect his identity.
	As Lillian grows increasingly distant from the DIAO, the investigators begin to take note of her suspicious behavior- particularly Assistant Director Galena Tarmont, whose mother has collaborated with Dakota to keep his background hidden. But Galena has bigger things to worry about after her coworker accuses her of spying- and when a bizarre incident leaves her questioning her own sanity, she's left wondering how much Dakota could be capable of.
	Galena begins an independent investigation into this mysterious event, Lillian's personal life becomes entangled in her newfound abilities, and Dakota encounters the ghosts of his enigmatic past. Soon, they find their paths twining into an elaborate knot, bearing them all towards a common destiny too vast for any of them to imagine.All Rights Reserved

The Rise of The Fallen (Season 1) by triedwriter

Kira's family had fallen apart when she was just a child, and she'd grown up with a deep sense of loneliness and despair. She had always felt like a mere whisper in the symphony of life. With each passing day, she could see her reflection in the mirror, the dullness in her eyes reflecting a life without much excitement or promise. The only constant in her life was her beloved cat, Elias. Elias was a black Jaguar who always seemed to understand Kira's deepest thoughts and emotions. It was a simple and mundane life, but Kira cherished it because it was all she had. She often wondered if there was more to her existence, but it seemed like wishful thinking. As she arrived to school for her last year of high school, transfered students of high class were being welcomed. Kira was assigned to guild them around and then encountered an injured man on the way back from school and decided to help him out. what happened yesterday felt like I dream to her so she put it all out of her mind.

Until Kira, forever questioned the thin line that separated good and evil, hero and villain.

The Ghosts of Melbrew [1/12] by LillianRS

BOOK NUMBER 1 OF 12 IN THE MULTIMAGICAL SERIES BY LILLIAN R.S. ☆☆☆ Emeline Orman was sixteen when she and her parents moved across the country to the coastline of Washington state. A small town known as Melbrew sat comfortably in the middle of thick woods, so tiny and unknown that it doesn't show up on any maps, making it the perfect spot for malicious activity to go unnoticed. On her first day of school, she met some rather weird people, who all shared a strange similar interest. This little group had quite the reputation for their knowledge of the town's not-so-secret dark history... as well as all of the unusual things that have been reported to them. It all started with the rich Humphrey family tragedy back in the 1800s, where for years it has been speculated that the mother killed her husband and children. Being very eager to get to the bottom of all the town's mysteries, one thing leads to another as discovery after discovery begins to pile up, ranging from random holes in the ground, to suspicious buildings in the middle of the woods. Secret doors, tunnels, and books that talk about nonsense seem like they lead nowhere, with no connections! Though perhaps the most mysterious oddity of them all is the otherworldly gateway surrounded by old fences, tied back to the founding family. ☆☆☆ • CW: Strong language, murder, and gore • 34 Total Chapters! • Total Word Count: 142,450 • PLEASE NOTE: This book is part of a series! It is the first book of 12. • This book is not my final product! This is just my way of easily sharing it with family and friends! I plan to edit and get published someday.

Marmalade's Love Potion by brightwitchbrews

In the final days of autumn, a young princess climbs her favourite tree clutching a folded star of paper to her aching heart. Contained within its crisp lines are recountings of her dreams and darings... and a plea that she might, at last, be welcomed home. With a kiss for luck, she tosses her star to the southbound winds, and stumbles her way to a crumbling cottage in the deep woods. Years pass and the constellations spin, her pleas have gone unanswered. The princess grows, and her uncertainties are buried beneath the gentle earth of spurned hopes. It is now, when she has almost forgotten how to wish on morning stars, that an invitation of smoke and dream light arrives, carried on horseback by soldiers of a different kingdom; the Dark Moon Ball might prove her salvation. She does not yet know that love is an exquisite, wretched thing and that wishes are fickle as wisp light. She does not yet know that paths of magic have their own sense of poetry, and walking them presses footprints into the deepest sands of self, remaining even as the stars and seasons turn. She does not yet know that home is where you keep your north star.

Brianna Acero and the Second One's Return by RaquelS03

One hundred years ago, war threatened the existence of humanity. One man's actions might bring it back. During WWV, battles weren't won with bombs, but with science. Specifically, with DNA. Now, a person's place in society is determined by their genetic code. If your Gift is as mundane as knowing what time it is without needing a watch, you're probably a Norm, but if it's so extraordinary that it's considered a danger to the public, congratulations, you're an Elite. Seventeen-year-old Brianna Acero doesn't fall into either category. She is the only girl in the world who has no Gift at all. When life throws her a curveball and Brianna finds herself living among the Elites, she begins to uncover layers upon layers of secrets about her own past, but there is one secret that was not meant to be unlocked. Now, there is no way of putting it back in its cage. The Second One is back, and this time he won't be so forgiving. His actions could bring about a new world war, and the end of Gifted society along with it. Only Brianna is unique enough to stop him, but will she rise to the challenge? Revenge is a dangerous game, and not everyone is ready to play it.
